Florida woman Cherie Miller set of a chain reaction of good deeds when she decided to pay for the car in line behind her at a Chick-fil-A drive-thru.

The Temple Terrace resident stopped at the chicken restaurant because the franchise was donating proceeds of that night's sales when she spontaneously decided to engage in some charity work of her own.

'It was a way for me to pass on the love of God, and to give someone a surprise,' she told WTVT-TV.

'She asked to pay it forward and we’ve had that happen before, but
never have we had it go that far,' said Chick-fil-A marketing director
Carmen Fisher in an interview with ABC News. 'It was incredible that people just kept going. And some people were paying for meals more than their meals cost.'

Miller then returned after forgetting chicken nuggets for her son, and the Chick-fil-A staff told her what she started.
